Gaza Solidarity Vigil

corner of East Genesee St. and Erie Blvd. (opposite the fire department). Click for map

July 8 marked one year since the beginning of the 50 day Israeli assault on Gaza that claimed the lives of over 2000 Palestinians, including almost 500 children.

We will speak out against U.S. complicity in the massacre and raise awareness about the continuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Roughly 100,000 Palestinian residents of Gaza are still left homeless, a crisis which is aggravated by the Israeli economic blockade of Gaza.We will add our voice in support of the international movement for boycott and divestment from companies profitting from the illegal occupation of Palestine.

The Syracuse Peace Council educates, agitates and organizes for a world where war, violence and exploitation in any form will no longer exist. We are community-based, autonomous and funded by the contributions of our supporters. See the full Statement of Purpose.
